Extending broadband coverage for critical users

17 September 2024

The key requirement for mission-critical communications users is that their devices are connected to the network – no coverage means no calls. Operating at higher transmit powers than standard consumer mobiles, High Power User Equipment (HPUE) can extend the reach of the device, helping to ensure that critical communications users stay in contact even where network connection is poor. However, this enhancement will only happen if the challenges identified in a new white paper from TCCA are addressed without delay.

Moving forward with mission critical services certification

25 April 2024

Ensuring that mission critical services over broadband networks are actually mission critical is a complex process.

First responders and other users of critical communications services need to have full trust in their voice, video, and data applications in what could be life-threatening situations.

Ensuring a broad and cost-efficient market for critical broadband devices

23 November 2023

As critical communications organisations and users move to mobile broadband networks and services, increasing numbers of new devices and associated mission critical applications are expected to become available. These will significantly enhance the capabilities and productivity of first responders. However, the mission critical broadband ecosystem is much more complex than the existing narrowband market. A new white paper from TCCA highlights the key considerations that need to be taken into account to ensure a successful long-term cost-effective solution deployment with specific mission critical-supporting functionality.
